Mrs. Mary A. Woodbridge of Ohio, deliv-
cred two addresses in this city yesterday,
under the auspices of the Portland Woman's
Christian Union. In the afternoon Mrs.
Woodbridge spoke upon gospel temperance
theme at the Second Parish church, and in
the evening she addressed large audience
at the Congress Square church. At the
evening meeting Mrs. Woodbridge was APP
propriately introduced by Mrs. George S.
HUT, the president of the local union. Mrs.
Woodbridge then delivered an interesting
address in which she spoke with great earn
estness upon the relations of the prohibition
cause TO the religion and politics of the coun-
try: to the great questions of the time and
thessocial life of the nation.
Mrs. Woodbridge said that the liquor curse
threatened the destruction of the country,
and applied to this subject utterances of
Lincoln and other American statesmen
made In reference to the slavery struggle.
She also quoted the statement of Gladstone
that either England must conquer its saloons
or the saloons would conquer England. The
speaker said that in the prohibition cam
paign in Western states its supporters were
constantly met with an allusiOn to the state
Of things in Portland and Bangor, to which
they could make no reply.
After Mrs. Woodbridge had concluded,
Rev. Mr. Blanchard spoke briefly upon the
departments of the work of the w. 6. r. u.
making special allusion to the Students
Leagues, which are organizations intended
TO be formed in colleges. Mrs. Hunt of Port
land has charge of this feature Of the work.

creasing wrath with his mistress. -Four min
utes late! The thought maddened her 90
that she could not control herself, and, rush
ing at the dallying Frenchman, she knocked
| the tray out Of his hand. The dishes went to
| the floor with crash. Then she seized him
by the ear and pulled him about in sort OF
q war dance, which did not end until her per-
sonal attendant succeeded in paeifying her.
Poor Stoll. frightened out of his wits by the
unexpt cted onslaught, made an attempt to
pick up the scattered pieces of china. Thls
made the actress still more angry, ana now
thoroughly worked into passion she ordered
the waiter and everybody out of the apart
ments Stoll did not need second bidding,
but made his escape at once.
Those who remained with Nine. Bernhard,
however, were unable to induce her to order
another lunch, and at half-past l she was
driven to the Star Theatre. where she played
.sTheodora." Stol was willing enough to
resign his post to another that evening. he
also concluded that it was best to say nothing
of his experience, and his interesting story
was, therefore, rehearsed only for the ears OF
his employers. When he went to his home,
at I4O West Twenty-f fifth street, however, his
relatives told him that he had missed the OPP
portunity Of his life for a big advertisement
of himself, and declared that he should have
had Nine Bernhardt arrested for assault and
battery.
Before Stoll could make up his mind to
adopt this course his brilliant assailant had
departed for Boston. On Monday, however,
Stoll and his relatives consulted lawyer and
were told that an action for assault ought to
be begun against Bernhardt. The waiter in
structed him to do so at once. and the lawyer
only now aw aits Nine. Bernhardt's return on
the 10th inst, to have the warrant sworn out
and served on her.

The Fishery Dispute.

The fishery question is looming up in
importance The Canadians have made
large preparations to capture or destroy
any American fishing vessels seen and
supposed to be trespassing upon the rights
OF our neighbors. They have increased
their fleet in the waters contiguous to the
Canadian shore, which are diligently pa
troled by these armed cruisers. Already
it is reported that one OF our fishermen has
had solid shot fired across his bows, and
been ordered to heave to and await the
pleasure of his grim antagonist. The
Yankee skipper it appears took to his
heels, and so escaped capture and what
else the authorities of the Dominion might
choose to inflct upon him.
Following close upon this reported war
like affair comes letter from President
Cleveland in answer to the appeal of par.
ties fo7 the application of the retaliatory
bill passed by the late Congress, which
may mean much or little, but Just how
much or little nobody but himself can
tell. He talks about defending the digni-
ty and honor of the nation and appears TO
disclose kind of feeling that tits improp-
err for fishermen to ask to have their
special interests protected. and admonish-
es them to mind their own affairs and
leave the government to take its own
course in relation to the retaliatory act
and the fishery dispute.
Now perhaps il President Cleveland
were dependent upon the fishing business
for the support of himself and family. as
is the case with thousands of our New
England people, he might not take the
hostile acts and outrages of our Canadian
neighbors upoh American fishermen with
quite so much complacency as he mani
tests in dealing with this subject. 1t is
high time that something was done about
this fishery question. The cloud has been
growing and becoming blacker ever since
Cleveland became President, and it is moi
to be wondered at that our people are be.
coming impatient and inquisitive a. te
what the President is going to do about
the power which Congress placed in his
hands and to ask him to try what virtue
there Is in stones since turf has failed tc
have any effect upon the Canadians.

ant The Frenchman's name is Chas. Stoll.
He has been employed as q waiter in the
Hoffman House restaurant for some time past
and he was given sole charge of Madame's
dining table Stoll entered upon his duties
with a considerable degree of enthusiasm.
He had not gone far with them. however
before he realized that Nine. Beruhardt was
p,sed to having her orders obeyed to the let
aer. In fact, he found the great artist so ex-
acting in her commands that life became a
burden to him, and every word she uttered
was a new terror. Added to this, and per-
hsps in his eyes worse than this, there were
no tips.
One of the points on which Nine. Bern
hardt laid especial stress when she was order
ing her meals was that they should be served
promptly at the hour she set for them. If
she fixed the time of serving at 6 o'clock she
insisted that she did not want the waiter to
come struggling into the room at one minute

eccentricity he never failed to put in an ap-
pearance a minute or two beforehand and
